ROC Wheels provides customized wheelchairs to those in third world countries, with a special emphasis on children.
"20,000,000 people in developing countries require wheelchairs for mobility. Approximately 6,700,000 of these people are children. A very small percentage of these people have a wheelchair and even fewer have one that is fit to their needs. ROC Wheels has put special emphasis on developing wheelchairs for children up to age 15 regardless of their level of disability. ..We realize the importance of providing the right wheelchair that helps each person gain independence, interact with their peers and become a more active member of their community. Our ultimate goal is to help people help themselves.."

This looks like a good way to spend some of that bonus I got recently. Usually places just give people regulation one size fits all wheelchairs which is better than none but I like the idea that kids get custom ones.
